Galaxies at High Redshift cover

This volume presents lectures of the XI Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics written by experts in the field.

This volume provides an essential reference for all astronomers working in the field of high-redshift galaxies. It contains the lectures delivered at the XI Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics, and each chapter is written by a world expert in the field.Observational cosmology, with the help of large telescopes, combined with the capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope and other space missions, allow astronomers to directly observe galaxy assembly over cosmic time. These developments demand that scientists are trained in the methods suited to the study of distant galaxies. This volume contains the lectures delivered at the XI Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics, reviewing both scientific results and the main questions in the field. It covers the study of normal galaxies, distant galaxies, and studies based on far-infrared diagnostics, it reviews quasar absorption lines, and the properties of nearby galaxies. Each chapter is written by a world expert in the field, making the book an essential reference for all astronomers working in the field of high-redshift galaxies.
